How to use separate threads for pushbuttons in QT (like SwingWorker in Java)

[yeye_olive]

Why bother with QThreads? Just use QtConcurrent::run(). Here:

...
connect(myButton, SIGNAL(clicked()), SLOT(runMyFunctionInAnotherThread()));
...
void myFunction() {
  // This function is not meant to be run in the GUI thread
}
...
void MyClass::runMyFunctionInAnotherThread() {
  QtConcurrent::run(myFunction);
}

...
connect(myButton, SIGNAL(clicked()), SLOT(runMyFunctionInAnotherThread()));
...
void myFunction() {
  // This function is not meant to be run in the GUI thread
}
...
void MyClass::runMyFunctionInAnotherThread() {
  QtConcurrent::run(myFunction);
}
